BUSHING REMOVING TOOL Filed Nov. 10, 1928 a patented one 10,1930

{My invention relatesto bushing removing tools of the: type adapted to remove bushings from anyfdevice with whichbnshings arensed; i a i s y a An object of my inventioiilis to provide of pulling the biishing or of drifting the bushingfromits hub- 5 further object is t0 provide such a bushingpuller which is capable of securingsuch a secure grip Ionthe interior of a bushingas to render it impossible forthe a grip to be loosened during drifting or pnllingoperations; A a r 11 a V a Morespecifically, my inyention embodies h 1100 f the typ Pmvid d with a threaded jaw ine nber adapted to be threaded into yazbnshing andprovides addition to the threaded jaw" means for of the jaw with the bushing .'Ete1 the tool has been threaded into the bushing.

My invention remedies this objection by providing means for applying outward pressure to the threads ofthe bolt to securely lock the threads in engagement with the bushing after the bolt has"been threaded in place. "The bushing of an ordinary pnlley is indicated in the dralwings by the referenoe character 9; This bu'sjhing is ordi narily of bronze or Babbittor soinenietalwhich is soft enough to be ciit readily by split as at 12 to form several sections or i i l to be easily inserted "in a been from the baseof an gidjacent thread to form a sharp edge 14.

In a bnshii'ig remover, a pulling bolt, having an integrallythreaded bore, a tapered hollow nose formed on the end of said bolt, and divided radially to form three separable jaws, a wedge positioned within said hollow nose, adapted to expand the jaws, and a threaded stein, threaded into the 1 threaded bore, provided with means to re J ceive awrench from which to receive rotative pressure, said tapered, hollow nosebeing e'xteriorly threaded with a thread, V- Y shaped in cross section, havinga face which j 1 is substantially perpendicular to'the axis J of the bolt and which faces toward the body of the bolt. a G. In a bushing remover, a pulling bolt 1 r having an internally threaded bore, a tapered, hollow nose formed on the end of said [bolt and divided radially to form a plurality of separablejaws, a wedge positioned within said hollow nose, adapted to expand the aws, a threaded stein threaded into the threaded bore, adapted to be rotated to transmit longitudinal pressure to the wedge, saidbolt being externally threaded, a wing nut having an integral arm projecting a l substantial distance laterally from the bolt, 30 said yoke including a pair of spaced arins positioned on opposite sides of the axis of the bolt and including a collar of substantial depth loosely receiving said bolt and r supporting it against lateral tilting mover35 inent, said yoke being adapted to be engaged by the Wing nut and in turn to engage a device in which a bushing is located.
